Langley Secondary School students Nathan Hillan and Kamil Golowko struck a wrestling pose in the foyer next to the school office.

Hillan, a Grade 10, won a gold medal at 94 kg in the Cadet Division (Grade 9-10) at the Western Canada Age Class Wrestling Championships, held Jan. 16-17 at the Richmond Olympic Oval.
